Well, new research published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology suggests that the well-known remedy may be no more than a panacea for soothing the pain, unless you pop the tart little berry in supplement form, Medical News Today reports. For the study, researchers recruited 160 patients who were undergoing gynecological surgery between 2011 and 2013. (According to statistics, 10 to 64 percent of women develop a UTI after such surgery). As treatment, half of the patients received two cranberry capsules twice each day the equivalent of two 8-ounce servings of cranberry juice, for six weeks after surgery. The others took a placebo. Researchers found that the cranberry capsules reduced the risk of UTIs by 50 percent. In the cranberry treatment group, 19 percent of patients developed an infection, compared with 38 percent in the placebo group. If you don’t have access to ultra-concentrated cranberry pills, a persistent UTI can be treated with antibiotics, or, as an alternative, researchers proposed using probiotics or “good” bacteria found in the digestive tract. Probiotics can be found in a multitude of foods, including fermented vegetables (like sauerkraut) and yogurt.

Try Adding Barley to Your Diet Foods with a low GI curb appetite and lower overall blood sugar spikes when compared with other carbohydrate-containing foods. Scientists suggested people eat breads made Barley, a versatile high-fiber cereal grain with a distinct nutlike flavor and chewy, pastalike consistency, may help reduce the risk of diabetes and lower blood sugar levels, suggest new findings published in the British Journal of Nutrition, Medical News Today reports. For the study, researchers at the Food for Health Science Center at Lund University in Sweden carried out a study with 20 healthy, middle-aged patients. One group ate barley kernel bread at breakfast, lunch and dinner for three days, while the other participants ate white bread at meals as a control for the duration of the study. After patients ate dinner each day, researchers assessed participants for various risk indicators of diabetes and heart disease. Results showed that the participants who ate the barley kernel bread at meals experienced lower blood sugar and insulin levels, as well as improved appetite control and increased insulin sensitivity up to 14 hours after consuming it. “We saw an increase in gut hormones that regulate metabolism and appetite and an increase in a hormone that helps reduce chronic low-grade inflammation among the participants,” said Anne Nilsson, associate professor at Lund University and one of the study’s lead researchers. “In time, this could help prevent the occurrence of both cardiovascular disease and diabetes.” Barley is also high in protein and B vitamins and has a much lower glycemic index than white flour. Glycemic index, a.k.a. GI, is a measurement of the effect foods containing carbohydrates have on blood sugar levels. La cebada, versátil cereal alto en fibra, con sabor parecido a la nuez y masticable, puede ayudar a reducir el riesgo de la diabetes y bajar los niveles de azúcar en la sangre, sugieren nuevos hallazgos publicados en el Diario Británico de Nutrición, reporta Medical News Today. Para el estudio, los investigadores de Food for Health Science Center y Lund University en Suiza, llevaron a cabo un estudio con 20 pacientes saludables de edad media. Un grupo comió pan de grano de cebada en el desayuno, almuerzo y comida por tres días, mientras los otros participantes comían pan blanco en las comidas como control de la duración del estudio.

La cebada es también alta en proteína y vitaminas B y tiene un índice de glucosa mucho más bajo que la harina blanca. El índice de glucosa, a.k.a. GI es una prueba del efecto que los alimentos que contienen carbohidratos tienen en los niveles de azúcar en la sangre. Los alimentos con bajo GI frenan el apetito y bajan los niveles de azúcar en la sangre, comparados con otros alimentos que contienen carbohidratos. Los científicos sugieren que la gente coma pan hecho con granos enteros lo más que puedan y eviten el azúcar blanca. Sugieren también agregar granos de cebada a las sopas y guisados y reemplazar el arroz cocinado con cebada.
